Ruth 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 But there was a man related to Elimelech, a powerful man, and very wealthy, named Boaz.	1 και τη νωεμιν ανηρ γνωριμος τω ανδρι αυτης ο δε ανηρ δυνατος ισχυι εκ της συγγενειας αβιμελεχ και ονομα αυτω βοος
2 And Ruth, the Moabite, said to her mother-in-law, “If you order, I will go into the field and gather the ears of grain which escape the reaping hand, wherever I will find favor with the father of a family, who will be compassionate to me.” She answered her, “Go, my daughter.”	2 και ειπεν ρουθ η μωαβιτις προς νωεμιν πορευθω δη εις αγρον και συναξω εν τοις σταχυσιν κατοπισθεν ου εαν ευρω χαριν εν οφθαλμοις αυτου ειπεν δε αυτη πορευου θυγατερ
3 And so she went and gathered the ears of grain after the completion of the reaping. But it happened that this field was owned by Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.	3 και επορευθη και συνελεξεν εν τω αγρω κατοπισθεν των θεριζοντων και περιεπεσεν περιπτωματι τη μεριδι του αγρου βοος του εκ συγγενειας αβιμελεχ
4 And behold, he came out of Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you.” They answered him, “May the Lord bless you.”	4 και ιδου βοος ηλθεν εκ βαιθλεεμ και ειπεν τοις θεριζουσιν κυριος μεθ' υμων και ειπον αυτω ευλογησαι σε κυριος
5 And Boaz said to the young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”	5 και ειπεν βοος τω παιδαριω αυτου τω εφεστωτι επι τους θεριζοντας τινος η νεανις αυτη
6 He answered him, “This is the Moabite woman, who came with Naomi, from the land of the Moabites,	6 και απεκριθη το παιδαριον το εφεστος επι τους θεριζοντας και ειπεν η παις η μωαβιτις εστιν η αποστραφεισα μετα νωεμιν εξ αγρου μωαβ
7 and she asked to gather the remnants of the ears of grain, following the steps of the reapers, and from morning until now she has remained in the field, and, indeed, not for one moment has she returned home.”	7 και ειπεν συλλεξω δη και συναξω εν τοις δραγμασιν οπισθεν των θεριζοντων και ηλθεν και εστη απο πρωιθεν και εως εσπερας ου κατεπαυσεν εν τω αγρω μικρον
8 And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen to me, daughter. Do not go to gather in any other field, nor depart from this place, but join with my young women,	8 και ειπεν βοος προς ρουθ ουκ ηκουσας θυγατερ μη πορευθης εν αγρω συλλεξαι ετερω και συ ου πορευση εντευθεν ωδε κολληθητι μετα των κορασιων μου
9 and follow where they reap. For I given orders to my young men, so that no one is to harass you. And so, whenever you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from the waters that the young men also drink.”	9 οι οφθαλμοι σου εις τον αγρον ου εαν θεριζωσιν και πορευση κατοπισθεν αυτων ιδου ενετειλαμην τοις παιδαριοις του μη αψασθαι σου και ο τι διψησεις και πορευθηση εις τα σκευη και πιεσαι οθεν αν υδρευωνται τα παιδαρια
10 She, falling on her face and paying homage on the ground, said to him: “How did this happen to me, that I should find favor before your eyes, and that you would condescend to accept me, a foreign woman?”	10 και επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτης και προσεκυνησεν επι την γην και ειπεν προς αυτον τι οτι ευρον χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου του επιγνωναι με και εγω ειμι ξενη
11 He answered her, “Everything has been reported to me, what things you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and how you left your parents, and the land in which you were born, and came to a people you did not know before.	11 και απεκριθη βοος και ειπεν αυτη απαγγελια απηγγελη μοι οσα πεποιηκας μετα της πενθερας σου μετα το αποθανειν τον ανδρα σου και πως κατελιπες τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και την γην γενεσεως σου και επορευθης προς λαον ον ουκ ηδεις εχθες και τριτης
12 May the Lord repay you for your work, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have come, and under whose wings you have taken refuge.”	12 αποτεισαι κυριος την εργασιαν σου και γενοιτο ο μισθος σου πληρης παρα κυριου θεου ισραηλ προς ον ηλθες πεποιθεναι υπο τας πτερυγας αυτου
13 She said, “I have found favor before your eyes, my lord, who has consoled me, and you have spoken to the heart of your handmaid, who is unlike one of your young women.”	13 η δε ειπεν ευροιμι χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου κυριε οτι παρεκαλεσας με και οτι ελαλησας επι καρδιαν της δουλης σου και ιδου εγω εσομαι ως μια των παιδισκων σου
14 And Boaz said to her, “When mealtime begins, come here, and eat bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” And so she sat beside the reapers, and she piled up parched grain for herself, and she ate and was satisfied, and carried off the leftovers.	14 και ειπεν αυτη βοος ηδη ωρα του φαγειν προσελθε ωδε και φαγεσαι των αρτων και βαψεις τον ψωμον σου εν τω οξει και εκαθισεν ρουθ εκ πλαγιων των θεριζοντων και εβουνισεν αυτη βοος αλφιτον και εφαγεν και ενεπλησθη και κατελιπεν
15 And then she arose from there, so as to gather the ears of grain, according to the custom. But Boaz commanded his servants, saying, “If she is even willing to reap with you, do not prevent her,	15 και ανεστη του συλλεγειν και ενετειλατο βοος τοις παιδαριοις αυτου λεγων και γε ανα μεσον των δραγματων συλλεγετω και μη καταισχυνητε αυτην
16 and purposely let fall some from your bundles, and allow them to remain, so that she may gather without blushing, and let no one rebuke her gathering.”	16 και βασταζοντες βασταξατε αυτη και γε παραβαλλοντες παραβαλειτε αυτη εκ των βεβουνισμενων και αφετε και συλλεξει και ουκ επιτιμησετε αυτη
17 And so she gathered in the field until evening. And striking and threshing with a staff what she had gathered, she found about the measure of an ephah of barley, that is, three measures.	17 και συνελεξεν εν τω αγρω εως εσπερας και ερραβδισεν α συνελεξεν και εγενηθη ως οιφι κριθων
18 Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.	18 και ηρεν και εισηλθεν εις την πολιν και ειδεν η πενθερα αυτης α συνελεξεν και εξενεγκασα ρουθ εδωκεν αυτη α κατελιπεν εξ ων ενεπλησθη
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!” And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man’s name, that he was called Boaz.	19 και ειπεν αυτη η πενθερα αυτης που συνελεξας σημερον και που εποιησας ειη ο επιγνους σε ευλογημενος και απηγγειλεν ρουθ τη πενθερα αυτης που εποιησεν και ειπεν το ονομα του ανδρος μεθ' ου εποιησα σημερον βοος
20 Naomi answered her, “May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead.” And again she said: “This man is our near relative.”	20 και ειπεν νωεμιν τη νυμφη αυτης ευλογητος εστιν τω κυριω οτι ουκ εγκατελιπεν το ελεος αυτου μετα των ζωντων και μετα των τεθνηκοτων και ειπεν αυτη νωεμιν εγγιζει ημιν ο ανηρ εκ των αγχιστευοντων ημας εστιν
21 And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.”	21 και ειπεν ρουθ προς την πενθεραν αυτης και γε οτι ειπεν προς με μετα των παιδαριων μου προσκολληθητι εως αν τελεσωσιν ολον τον αμητον ος υπαρχει μοι
22 And her mother-in-law said to her, “It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger’s field someone may confront you.”	22 και ειπεν νωεμιν προς ρουθ την νυμφην αυτης αγαθον θυγατερ οτι επορευθης μετα των κορασιων αυτου και ουκ απαντησονται σοι εν αγρω ετερω
23 And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.	23 και προσεκολληθη ρουθ τοις κορασιοις βοος συλλεγειν εως ου συνετελεσεν τον θερισμον των κριθων και των πυρων και εκαθισεν μετα της πενθερας αυτης
